Hi Scott,
MY's bumpers are powdercoated black. I like the yellow-and-black look.
The police report clearly shows the driver was at fault, he's been cited
for careless driving. I mean, he struck a parked car. He's insured. His
dad is the manager of a Les Schwab tire store, and looks like the kind
of fellow that wants to do everything with a lot of honesty. The dad
bought the insurance for the driver.
P-mail me your prices for rear hatch, RR quarter panel, and some bumper
that I'll have to get blackened.
